Our third time here, we all attempted to be relatively healthy on this night, going with the bourbon chicken with sauce on the side. We started by splitting a side Caesar salad, which was very flavorful and good. None of us were impressed with our chicken. Thinner than it has been in the past, it was also overcooked and quite dry. The side of vegetables are fantastic, and the mashed potatoes were enjoyed as well. They've now included a scoop of Cole slaw with the chicken, which was also very good. Service started off slow, but was ok, although we did have to ask for drink refills after our glasses sat empty for a long time. I'm sure we'll give them another shot at some point to see if the chicken improves. read more

Hands down the best kept secret in Castle Rock. The Library is my favorite local dinner spot and I hope nothing ever changes. Cozy atmosphere, great food, loving service, and perfect volume level for a sport bar. The menu is adventurous for a sports bar and provides options other than just the regular old "burger and fries." The owner and the manager will recognize you everytime that you come back and it feels like a private club, more than a public restaurant. For the win: Start with the Soft Pretzels with ale cheese dip and ale mustard, next either the Western Burger with a side of coleslaw and fries, or The Reuben. Finally, wash it all down with Crank Yanker IPA or one of the many Mule choices. "Honey, where are you going?" "To the library!" read more

Greeted as soon as we walk in. Went here with family party of 6 plus a three year old. Staff were friendly. Service was on point. I ordered the gumbo, which I would rate 3.75 out of 5. It was good, but not good enough to order next time. I also ordered the mahi-mahi sandwich with fries and side ranch. I give the sandwich a 4 out of 5 and would order again when I'm in the mood for something light. Lots of TVs with sports on each one. There is also a small outdoor patio in the front of the restaurant. read more

We love The Library! It's like we finally found a place that feels like home. Although it's a bar, don't let that keep you from dining there. The food is delicious and the staff is always so friendly and welcoming. I really appreciate the owner Alex and his hustle. His wife was there too the first time we went. Let's put it this way, we were there 3 times in 2 weeks. Although we don't dine out much, my mother suffered an injury and I'm wearing a few too many hats at the moment to include all meals at our house so they have been a lifesaver for a decent meal, a nice salad, comfort food and a friendly face to say hello when I've run to grab takeout. Thanks for being so on top of things, guys! We appreciate what you do and will see you soon! read more

The thing I love about this place is their consistency. I've been here several times per year and that's over several years. It's clean and the staff has always been welcoming. Which sometimes you don't find in a laid back, chill restaurant. The food is great, the prices are actually fair and the staff is actually friendly. Let's keep this place alive patrons! read more

Solid and consistent performing restaurant. There aren't a lot of options in this area. It's a good place to have drinks and appetizers as well as an evening meal. Starting with the appetizers, the Oysters on the half shell were incredibly fresh, and the Soft Pretzels with ale cheese dip and amber ale mustard were the perfect combination of savory and indulgent. I have also had the wings which were good. The burger selection is outstanding, with unique options like The Boss featuring carnitas, andouille sausage, ghost pepper cheese, jalapeños, and chipotle aioli. read more

Such a great spot. We went in unexpectedly with a large group and the food and service were all amazing. Our server Maddie was on point along with the rest of the staff. Everything came out quickly, hot, and delicious! The blood orange margarita is a must have. Definitely worth the stop. read more

Always good food always good beer always good atmosphere and very nice wait staff... Lots of TVs..

Dropped in for a quick weekday lunch. Service was immediate, ambiance was calm and had a menu in hand within a couple of minutes. Ordered the blackened chicken with bourbon glaze and sweet potato fries. The meal came out quickly and was absolutely delicious. Now the best part, $10.74 plus tip and tax! Say goodbye to mega-corp fast food at these prices and taste some quality food! read more

I have visited the Library for Dinner at least a dozen times and we have also had gatherings and birthdays there. I have been remiss at giving this place a review , but every time has been a pleasure. The wait staff is always accommodating and the food is well beyond what you would expect from a tavern or bar. The atmosphere is great and there is a T.V. in view of every table if you are interested in watching a sporting event. read more

I love this place, the atmosphere is great, service is great, food is good but this restaurant needs new chairs so bad ! There's not a comfortable seat anywhere on the patio and every barstool wobbles to the point it's hard to sit without keeping a foot on the floor. Otherwise this is one of my favorite places I just hope they get better seating soon ! read more

Reasonably priced with decent food. Good atmosphere for watching sporting events. Very similar the office in downtown castle rock. I don't remember the service being either great or bad which is a good thing. Will be back. read more

Came here for the first time and really really enjoyed everything. The prices were absolutely amazing and the service was great.

The setting was just bar atmosphere. Service was marginal. I'm certain I got food poisoning here. I had a burger and sweet potato fries. I've been in the bathroom most of the morning 20 hours after eating here. BEWARE. read more

Fun place to watch Sunday Football or any sporting events! There are so many tvs so every game was able to be played at the same time! Drinks were made very well! Brunch was okay! Won't go here for the food but to watch sports with group of friends! Service was great and waitress stayed on top of everything. Would give 3.5 if I possible read more

Cute place. The service and food were very good. I would definitely recommend this place if you're in the area.

Ordered some food to go. Very disappointed in the wings. They were the tinniest wings I've ever seen. Not sure what kind of bird the wings came from but but it sure as heck wasn't a chicken. read more

First time here thanks to my aunt's recommendation! This place is set up so cute and definitely has the library vibes. The staff is also so so friendly and the owners are awesome. I love that they're from Guadalajara, where my family is from! For food, I tried the chicken parm sandwich and also got to try their onion rings and banana chocolate swirl cake with raspberry drizzle. The crispi-ness of the onion rings were on point and the dessert was a perfect cherry on top to a great meal :) The sandwiches normally come with a side of fries, but you can choose from sweet potato fries or veggies like I did! The veggies were a perfect fry replacement for me. read more

Great, consistent service for a sports bar. Best wings and fries in the Meadows. Great Gin & Tonic from Nicole at the bar. It gets packed on game / event days and nights... even mid-day... So come early if you want a food table / bar seat. Beware: The blue cheese dressing is mixed with a small amt of paprika to quickly identify ranch vs blue cheese in the kitchen. It's not spiced or anything else... Took 3 trips to ask about it read more

Ok I wanted to like this place...it's dark and feels a bit unkept...sticky tables and less than enthusiastic staff. I ordered Huevos Rancheros and received a folded over fried egg with red enchilada sauce on top....ummm GROSS! My friend immediately said she would share her chicken sandwich. Here is what I would suggest--stick to what you know! If you don't know what it it is don't offer it on your menu! That was the most disgusting thing I've ever seen! I should have taken a photo but was too mortified to think!!! 2 stars because my friend seemed good with the sandwich otherwise it would have been 1 star read more

Bartender Nicole was amazing! The cooks EH.. not so much. Ordered my steak medium rare... turned out to be medium-medium well. Had an awful taste to it, also. Order BLUE CHEESE dressing came out in a funky orange color. First time here, won't be back. Sucks it had the Rockies and Avs game on. Good sports bar besides the food! Ordered the bourbon chicken because the steak was over cooked and tasted weird. It was really good until I found a black hair in my food. I can't never win! read more

The library is a great local spot to go visit. If you want to hang out somewhere and watch some Colorado sports, or anything else good on TV, this is a good place to start. The drink menu is pretty big. As you can see from the photos, they have a massive bar. I don't have much to complain about here except their bourbon pricing. It's a bit higher than what I would hope for. They also have a fairly extensive food menu. I like going here with friends or family because there's a lot to choose from, so everyone is typically happy. It's not the 10/10 food from a high end restaurant, but that's not what this place is either. You can come here and have a good sandwich or burger while watching some sports. This is a place that I will go back to again. read more

Amazing service, especially when busy! Pepe and the staff are amazing with their service. Very reasonable prices. Atmosphere is great as a sports bar. Drinks are well made and fairly priced. Stated as best happy hour (s) in Castle rock and would agree! Menu has lots of options and the staff are very accommodating for custom orders if they can make it (daughter is picky...). Great for watching sports!! Also hats off to the staff! They work so well together and have no idea how they do it so efficiently. Have never seen such a well run crew!!! read more

I love the theme and the ambiance. I had a cheeseburger that was great. The fries were perfect. My husband had nachos that were just okay. My only real complaint is that kids meals are $7 and my kid's Mac and cheese looked like Kraft. read more

Order food to go... a regular hamburger with fries then one hamburger with nothing on it , just a bun for my 2 year old grandson. The price was outrageous , $7.99 for that one hamburger with no fries or anything else. The total price was $25.87 for both hamburgers. Over charged. Very disappointed, Not going back. ( I ve been there many times and have not been overcharged like that. ) read more

My mid-twenties son loves The Library. He's a fan of the burgers and the people from what I can tell. I stop in with girlfriends from time to time and it falls into the "it's fine" category for me. Parking can be a challenge in this area, but as long as there's no major ice, I don't mind walking to where I find. We've never had to wait for a seat which is a bonus. Service is always fine. The fried shrimp dinner, any number of burgers (and they have plenty of options) and the onion rings are my go-tos. I've tried the cheesecake for dessert before too. The restaurant is clean, easy to find, approachable for anyone who wants to stop by and pretty expected. A consistent option with a nice chocolate martini. read more

There are fights among the staff and fights among the patrons! I see the cops get called all the time. Not a safe place for families and I will never go back. At least the bartenders are kind. read more

I'd like to return as my only visit so far was amazing. I had the nachos with the addition of carnitas and boy was that delicious! The appetizer of pretzels were literally the best freaking pretzels and cheese I've ever had in my life! I've been thinking of them ever since. I need to return with friends however so I do t eat the entire basket of pretzels myself read more

Good food, atmosphere, and service - which is why this spot gets fairly busy on week and weekend nights (so get there early).

This was my first time at the Library. The establishment and customers seemed to be following all COVID guidelines. I sat at the bar and the bartender was outstanding. She made some great tasting Old Fashion drinks for me and a buddy. She gave a quick class on some whiskeys. I didn't order anything off their lunch menu. I love that this place has patio seating. read more

I wont go back. The owner would rather fire an employee then coach her through things. I was only there because she raved about his bar. She made mistakes for sure but apparently there is no wiggle room or areas of improvement. Tried talking to him and he didnt want to hear a word i said. As an owner you should be worried about your bottom line. He didnt properly set the standard or she would have been gone already. Embarrassing an employee in front of customers and sitting at a table watching her every move can be uncomfortable especially for a 23 year old. The Gym Co didnt survive and i dont see this bar surviving. When interviewing, make better choices. If she or anyone else screws up, hold then accountable. If you cant, or the bar manager cant coach her through, then you give them a week to improve and if they dont, time to part ways. Dont cry to me about your bottom line, you hired her and thats on you. But her coming to my bar to unwind and convincing me to go to the Library has no worth. Absolutely no growth or coaching with this person. Thanks for letting me try to talk to you and try to explain to you that i was only there to return an industry favor and support this employee. But you chose to put your hands up in front of me and said i dont want to hear you. So as a paying customer i paid my tab and left. Good riddance! read more

Great burger and great service. The waiter Jake was very nice and funny, and he made watching the game more fun.

First time trying this place. Ordered fish & chips to-go. Delicious! Interesting take on how it was prepared. Not greasy. Sauce was awesome! Would order again. Worth going & recommend. read more

Best service and always great food!! Our local haunt. Pretty much everything on the menu is good!

I was happy with our experience here. 5 stars instead of 4 because of the great customer service; our server let my mother-in-law try a sample of something since she wasn't sure if she'd like it. The calamari was crisp (not rubbery) and my little taco was well-seasoned. The avocado toast was worth eating. The prices are phenomenal! read more
